Preparation
- Prep your ingredients. Begin by gathering all your ingredients together. Chop the bell peppers and onions finely so they mix evenly into your filling.
- Whisk the eggs. In a mixing bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and pour in the eggs, scrambling them until fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Cook the sausage and veggies. In a separate skillet, cook 1 cup of crumbled breakfast sausage over medium heat until browned, which should take about 5-7 minutes. Add the chopped bell peppers and onions during the last two minutes; they should become tender.
- Assemble the burrito. Lay one flour tortilla flat on a plate. Spoon in a portion of scrambled eggs, followed by the sausage mixture and a generous handful of shredded cheddar cheese at the center.
- Fold and roll. Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll it tightly from top to bottom to secure all the delicious filling inside.
- Optional: Grill the burrito. For an extra touch, grill each burrito seam-side down in a skillet for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown, giving it a delightful crispy exterior.
- Serve with toppings. Serve each warm burrito with a side of salsa and a dollop of sour cream for that extra burst of flavor.

Notes
For the perfect Breakfast Burrito, ensure your eggs are well-whisked before cooking to achieve that light and fluffy texture. Avoid overcooking the sausage to maintain its juiciness, and always add the bell peppers and onions near the end for a fresh flavor and crunch. When assembling, don't overstuff your tortilla to make it easier to fold and roll securely. If you choose to grill the burrito, keep the skillet on medium heat to prevent burning while crisping up the exterior.
